TRANSLATION
O sons of Daksa, please hear my words of instruction attentively.
You are all very affectionate to your elder brothers, the Haryaévas.
Therefore you should follow their path.
PURPORT
Narada Muni encouraged Prajapati Daksa’s second group of sons by
awakening their natural affinity for their brothers. He urged them to
follow their older brothers if they were at all affectionate toward them.
Family affection is very strong, and therefore Narada Muni followed this
tactic of reminding them of their family relationship with the Haryasvas.
